    Yeah… fuck off with that?

    I am Chinese with a lot of Chinese family. This is not some unique and elevated humor that westerners do not understand. It is the same self deprecating humor that is increasingly prevalent in all cultures (that have been exposed to similar media…) combined with the equivalent of “ha ha, wouldn’t it be funny if we kissed .ha ha ha . What a joke. ha ha. But what if we did? Ha ha ha”.

    Same with the truly disgusting misogynistic shit that asshole has said. It is a “joke” in the same way it was “just a joke” when people were testing the water on being magats.

    The only thing that is “cultural” about this is the tendency for East Asians (but especially Chinese) to assume that everyone else is fucking stupid and that they just have to say it is a joke to ignore all consequences. And… that has been regularly demonstrated to be true so I guess the joke is on us?


    Do I think he was tearing his shirt in agony and screaming in pain? No (although apparently Alannah Pearce and the people in her section saw him crying when he lost…). But there is very much the fundamental truth of “I deserved to win so this must be bullshit if I didn’t and I wasted my time by coming to an awards ceremony that doesn’t understand how amazing I am”.

    Which… DOES have a lot of ties to East Asian culture (the idea that you are either best or worst) coupled with the fucked up number that the one child policy did on people.

        So… while you are showing your ass and defending someone who said shit like

        I want to expand my circle and hire more people, get licked until I can’t get an erection.

        (Hint: that is where you claim everyone is racist and just misinterpreted him without providing any other defense)

        do you want to further show your ass and say why it would matter where I was physically born while explaining your “You just don’t understand our humor” defense?

          But they did misinterpret it, did they not? Didn’t you say you were Chinese?

          If so you should know that “getting licked” is the Chinese equivalent of “getting your ass kissed”. You wouldn’t be called sexist for saying you get your ass kissed.

          When did I defend anyone…? Dawg, can you read?

          You are so sensitive to immediately tell someone to F off which screams American. You claim yourself as Chinese which means you know best about all Chinese culture right? Which is such a common Chinese xenophobic tactic. But at the same time you’re so disconnected from your own culture you feel the need to share you and your own parents ethnicity, screams you took mandarin in university level ABC. All while being a jerk. Touch grass and chill out

            There’s that ass! Better be careful. You keep showing it and a certain dictator will think you are making Winnie the Poo references!

            It is so fun giving people who try to pretend to be rationale and enlightened plenty of rope.
